At 4:30 in the afternoon, Wen Xinya said goodbye to Du Ruo. Du Ruo was very surprised. Every time she came, she stayed until five o'clock before leaving. Why did she leave half an hour earlier today
I asked Wen Xinya casually, and she just said she had something to say and didn't say much, so I didn't ask any more questions.
However, the reason why Wen Xinya left the Du family early was because Si Yiyan said he would come to pick her up in the morning. She was heartbroken by that man in her previous life, and she didn't want to be entangled in **** in this life, but she couldn't say no to Si Yiyan. She also knew that Si Yiyan was definitely not the kind of person who would accept rejection, so she had to hide for the time being.
Wen Xinya left the Du family along the narrow path paved with bluestone bricks and saw a black Lucifer parked on the side of the road. Si Yiyan was half leaning against the car door, staring at her closely, as if he wanted to see through her soul.
Wen Xinya frowned, not liking the feeling of being seen through. However, his gaze was too strong, leaving her no way to hide. "Didn't you say you would pick me up at five? Why are you here so early?"
Si Yiyan had guessed her evasive attitude, so he had been waiting here for a long time: "I had nothing to do, so I came early. I didn't expect your class to end so early today. Fortunately, I came early, otherwise I would have missed it."
Wen Xinya felt a little guilty for a moment: "Aren't you going to send me back? Then go back quickly! Ruoruo gave me a few recipes for medicinal food. I will make medicinal food for grandpa myself later, so I have to prepare it early."
She tried to explain to him in a roundabout way that she was not avoiding him on purpose, but that she had ended the course early in order to make medicinal food for her grandfather. Was this the legendary trying to cover up one's own guilt
Si Yiyan's smile deepened: "It's not too late even if you go back to prepare at five o'clock, so you don't have to rush, there's still plenty of time."
Wen Xinya felt embarrassed as if she had been exposed. She got angry and said, "Are you going to drive or not? If not, I'll get one myself." After saying that, she pretended to open the car door.
"You're really a little wild cat who loves to get angry." Si Yiyan gave her a joking look, then started the car.
As soon as the car stopped in front of the Mo family's house, Wen Xinya hurriedly opened the door and ran into the Mo house, but bumped into He Ma's arms.
"Oh! Where's my little miss? Why don't you look at people when you walk?" Mother He supported her carefully and was frightened by the little miss's reckless movement.
Wen Xinya was embarrassed: "I'm sorry that Mama He bumped into you."
Mother He said, "Are you in a hurry? You are so eager to run without looking at others. It's a good thing that you bumped into my arms. If you bumped into somewhere else, it would be terrible."
"I got a few medicinal food recipes from Ruoruo and hurried to make medicinal food for grandpa myself." Wen Xinya said somewhat guiltily.
Si Yiyan walked in calmly, carrying a bag: "I was in a hurry to make the medicinal food, but I forgot to put the herbs I brought from Mr. Du in my car."
Wen Xinya's excuse was exposed and her face was filled with anger.
Mother He looked her up and down. She was surprised to see that the usually calm and rational young lady had such an expression of emotion. "Young lady, why is your face so red?"
As expected, Si Yiyan looked over with a slightly raised eyebrow.
Wen Xinya glared at He Ma fiercely and stomped her feet: "He Ma, you are so annoying." Then she turned around and ran away ignoring them.
Mother He looked at Si Yiyan in confusion for a moment: "Master Si, what's wrong with the young lady? Her face is so red. Is she sick?"
The smile in Si Yiyan's eyes deepened: "It's okay, she's just shy."
Shy, why is the young lady shy? She suddenly looked at Si Yiyan's spring and doting expression, and couldn't help but smiled and said with sudden realization: "The young lady is shy."
Wen Xinya ran all the way to the kitchen. After calming down, she felt deeply disgusted with her childish behavior. Thinking of the unforgettable love in her previous life, her heart couldn't help but twitch, not because she couldn't forget it, but because it was not worth it.
Mother Jiang walked into the kitchen and saw the young lady standing there in a daze. She thought she didn't know how to cook. "Young lady, I have prepared all the ingredients you asked for, and I have processed them very cleanly according to your requirements. Young lady, do you really want to cook by yourself? Do you need my help?"
Wen Xinya took a deep breath and shook off the distracting thoughts in her mind: "No need, Jiang Ma, I can cook."
She had been wandering around for fifteen years, how could she not know how to cook? Later, after she met that man, in order to please him, she specially enrolled in a cooking class and learned fine cuisine. Her cooking skills are definitely comparable to those of senior chefs in five-star hotels.
"Okay, I'll be right here. Miss, if you need anything, just call me." Mother Jiang looked at the delicate skin of the young lady and saw that she didn't look like she could cook, so she was skeptical about her and worried that she would hurt herself, so she didn't dare to leave.
As a result, she was surprised to see the young lady skillfully heating oil, adding ingredients, stir-frying and making soup. Suddenly, she thought that the young lady must have suffered a lot during her fifteen years of wandering outside, and she felt bad again.
Wen Xinya made a dish of eel stewed with ginseng and wolfberry, which is different from the common method on the Internet. This recipe has the effects of lowering blood pressure, detoxifying, replenishing qi and strengthening the heart, which is very suitable for grandpa.
Dinner started at six o'clock. Grandpa Mo smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine on the stew on the table and raised his eyebrows and asked, "Is this a medicinal meal?"
Jiang Ma said immediately, "Yes, this medicinal food is called white food stewed with ginseng and wolfberry. It has the effects of lowering blood pressure, detoxifying, replenishing qi and strengthening the heart. This is the recipe that the young lady got from Miss Ruoruo. I made it especially for you. I didn't expect that the young lady's cooking skills are so good."
Wen Xinya took grandpa's bowl and served her soup: "Grandpa, please try it and see how it tastes."
Grandpa Mo's brows were filled with joy. It was obvious that his granddaughter cooking for him made him very happy: "Great! Great! You are so thoughtful that you actually cook for grandpa yourself."
Mother He smiled and said, "How many girls nowadays can cook? Young Miss is a rare virtuous and filial girl."
These words made Mr. Mo very happy. He took a sip of the soup with a small spoon. He smelled the strong smell of Chinese medicine, but it tasted only slightly bitter. The meat was tender and smooth, and the Chinese medicine was very tasty. It tasted very good in his mouth: "Not bad, very delicious."
Wen Xinya's smile suddenly brightened: "Grandpa, if it tastes good, you can eat more. This is a medicinal meal specially made for you. You must follow my arrangements for your diet in the future. You need to take good care of yourself as you are old."
Being able to enjoy the filial piety of his granddaughter, Mr. Mo naturally agreed happily: "Okay! All up to you."
Si Yiyan watched her lower her eyes and serve food to Grandpa Mo. There was a warm smile in her eyes and the corners of her lips were slightly raised with satisfaction. She was calm and gentle. He could almost imagine her wearing an apron and cooking soup for him in the future. His heart was filled with peace and joy.
